    A few more things that will hopefully help with your decision.

    The Hayward Super pump uses a standard efficiency motor and has a lower max head while the Super II is a high efficiency motor and has a much higher max head. You will probably save quite a bit on electricity over the life of the pump going with the Super II over the Super.

    Also, Sta-Rite makes very good pumps as well and if it means less plumbing changes, then thats what I would go with.

    It's called POP in Chicago as well but now that I am in California, I have had to learn to say soda, NOT.
